The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey I: Spectroscopic Classification and the Redshift Completeness of Local Galaxy Catalogs
U. C. Fremling, A. A. Miller, Y. Sharma +37
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is performing a three-day cadence survey of the visible Northern sky (~3). The transient candidates found in this survey are announced via pu…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample
Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32
Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…
SUGAR: An improved empirical model of Type Ia Supernovae based on spectral features
P. -F. Léget, E. Gangler, F. Mondon +40
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely used to measure the expansion of the Universe. Improving distance measurements of SNe Ia is one technique to better constrain the acceleratio…
SN 2012dn from early to late times: 09dc-like supernovae reassessed
S. Taubenberger, A. Floers, C. Vogl +40
As a candidate 'super-Chandrasekhar' or 09dc-like Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), SN 2012dn shares many characteristics with other members of this remarkable class of objects but lacks…
Transient processing and analysis using : Alert Management, Photometry and Evaluation of Lightcurves
J. Nordin, V. Brinnel, J. van Santen +18
Both multi-messenger astronomy and new high-throughput wide-field surveys require flexible tools for the selection and analysis of astrophysical transients. We here introduce the A…
Testing Gravity Using Type Ia Supernovae Discovered by Next-Generation Wide-Field Imaging Surveys
A. G. Kim, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +29
In the upcoming decade cadenced wide-field imaging surveys will increase the number of identified Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) from the hundreds to the hundreds of thousands…
A Fully Automated Integral Field Spectrograph Pipeline for the SEDMachine: pysedm
M. Rigault, J. D. Neill, N. Blagorodnova +8
Current time domain facilities are discovering hundreds of new galactic and extra-galactic transients every week. Classifying the ever-increasing number of transients is challengin…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
Machine Learning for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Ashish Mahabal, Umaa Rebbapragada, Richard Walters +47
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a large optical survey in multiple filters producing hundreds of thousands of transient alerts per night. We describe here various machine learning…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
: Estimating Transient Discovery Rates for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Ulrich Feindt, Jakob Nordin, Mickael Rigault +4
When planning a survey for astronomical transients, many factors such as cadence, filter choice, sky coverage, and depth of observations need to be balanced in order to optimize th…
Search for transient optical counterparts to high-energy IceCube neutrinos with Pan-STARRS1
E. Kankare, M. Huber, S. J. Smartt +345
In order to identify the sources of the observed diffuse high-energy neutrino flux, it is crucial to discover their electromagnetic counterparts. IceCube began releasing alerts for…
